MILWAUKEE -- Pirates manager Clint Hurdle slotted Neil Walker in the No. 3 hole for Saturday's game against Milwaukee for just the second time this season, Walker's first bump up in the order to that spot since April 3.

Catcher Ryan Doumit, meanwhile, moved into the cleanup spot for the first time since April 9, 2010.

"I might not be done," Hurdle said of the roster rearranging. "This has been a month and we've had more success on the road than at home, but our offense has not been offensive. We're trying to look for a little bit of a mix. If I jumble it up a little bit, I'm looking for ways to get creative."
